Just stay off modern freeways if you value your life. Things to check would be: 1.Sagging rear end (worn out compensator) 2. Greasy engine 3. broken cruise control 4. defective HVAC system 5. Hard starting (if it has to crank a lot, something is terribly wrong) 6. Broken window regulators (very common). 7. Car refuses to shift into higher gear unless you rev the hell out of it (broken vacuum line or defective transmission modulator). yeah, $1500 is more than fair. They could have gotten $3000 for a clean TD wagon perhaps, but the coupe is kind of a freak. Let me know, I'll send a truck. |

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Nov 18, 2009 9:19 am) Here is the description she sent me... the craigs listing expired after 30 days, sorry you couldn’t find it. I have attached some pictures. I will drive it out around 3:30 on Wed. Mileage 172K, new tires, battery, starter, water pump and tune up. Needs exhaust tip, or replacement. All power windows, sunroof, radio etc work well. 1985 Mercedes 300CD. Thanks I can't give her $1,500 bucks real money but I have some room to over allow if I need to. I really don't want to over allow up to $1,500 as that would make a good deal a marginal deal. Just have to wait and see what happens when she gets here. If I needed another car I would probably buy it I don't drive on the highway at all to get to work. My average speed is less then 40 miles per hour on my commute. It is very hilly in some parts though so I am sure that car wouldn't be happy with the hills. Hhmhh make an interesting Lemons racer. Wouldn't be very fast of course but would be well interesting.

....for the record, that all MB diesels, save for the 240D, sold in the U.S. were turbos, from '82 on.
